Having a .gitignore in an otherwise empty directory is how you usually
make sure git a directory exists in a git repository, so yes, the
directory no longer is always present after the previous commit, and
code relying on the directory being present is going to have issues.

Regardless of that, this patch is correct as intltoolize's documentation
says it should be called after gettextize (now autopoint, which is
called by autoreconf). ACK.
